CVE-2022-4995: Weaver E-cology 9.0 File Upload RCE via uploaderOperate.jsp
Weaver (Fanwei) E-cology 9.0 versions prior to 10.52 contain a file upload vulnerability that allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to upload arbitrary files, including JSP webshells, by submitting a multipart/form-data POST request to /workrelate/plan/util/uploaderOperate.jsp with arbitrary secId and plandetailid field values. Successful exploitation results in remote code execution under the privileges of the application server process. Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2023-10-14 (UTC).
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
Affected Weaver E-cology systems can be compromised remotely without credentials. An attacker may upload executable server files and run code with the application server’s privileges, enabling data theft, alteration, or service disruption.
Executive priority
Treat affected or potentially affected deployments as urgent. Immediately isolate or upgrade internet-facing instances and investigate them for prior compromise. Expedite remediation and review for internal deployments that untrusted or compromised hosts can reach.
Technical view
CVE-2022-4995 is a CWE-434 unrestricted file-upload flaw in E-cology. An unauthenticated multipart request to uploaderOperate.jsp can upload arbitrary files, including executable JSP content, resulting in application-server code execution. It carries CVSS 3.1 score 9.8.
Likely exposure
Highest risk applies to E-cology deployments below version 10.52 where the affected application path is reachable by untrusted users. Internet-facing systems are especially exposed. Internal-only systems remain vulnerable to attackers with network access.
Exploitation context
The supplied record reports exploitation evidence first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2023-10-14. This indicates real-world abuse, but the CVE is not listed as KEV, and the bundle does not establish continuing active exploitation or campaign scale.
Researcher notes
Version metadata requires caution: the narrative says E-cology 9.0 before 10.52, while the structured affected entry lists version “0” with default status unaffected. Confirm exact build applicability using Weaver guidance. The bundle provides no direct Shadowserver source for its exploitation-evidence claim.
Mitigation direction
Inventory Weaver E-cology deployments and identify installations below version 10.52.
Upgrade affected systems to version 10.52 or later, following Weaver security and release guidance.
Until upgraded, block untrusted access to the affected endpoint or application.
Isolate suspected systems and preserve evidence before removing unauthorized files or restoring service.
Validation and detection
Confirm installed versions and patch status against current Weaver guidance.
Verify temporary controls prevent unauthenticated access to the affected endpoint.
Review HTTP logs for multipart POST requests to the affected endpoint.
Inspect application directories for unexpected JSP files and correlate findings with server activity.

File traversal and upload weaknesses can lead teams to review file, web shell, execution, and collection telemetry. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
The CVE wording references code or command execution, so execution technique review may help defensive triage. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
